Michael Scott Paper Company's Official Statement On Sale

"A wise man once sang, "Reunited and it feels so goooood!" With that in mind, we are happy to announce that the Michael Scott Paper Company is now merging with Dunder Mifflin. To our newer clients, we realize that we said Dunder Mifflin was a terrible company, but it turns out they're not so horrible - they've seen the error of their ways and went from bad to good (much like Drew Barrymore)."

"The Office" Loses Carell To Films

Entertainment Weekly's guru of gossip, Ausiello, has reported today that what we all feared has happened. Steve Carell seems to be on the way out of The Office.

"NBC sources are confirming to me that Mr. 40-Year-Old Virgin, has opted out of the rest of his contract with the show. The source also mentions that we have already met his replacement. Andy Buckley, who plays CFO David Wallace has had more of a presence on the show because it was apparently a test to see how audiences reacted to him."

Dinner with Steve and Paul!

In big movie news, Steve Carell will be starring in the upcoming comedy, "Dinner for Schmucks".

Carell will join Paul Rudd in this remake of a 1998 French comedy "La din de cons" about the world's worst dinner guest. (Anyone else thinking the "Dinner Party" episode plus an hour??).

The movie, directed by "Meet the Fockers" director Jay Roach, is set to start shooting in October, and will be the first collaboration between Carell and Rudd since "Anchorman".

Steve and Ed Together on Screen

And it's NOT an episode of The Office! That's right, Michael and Andy and making a movie together ... and it sounds CRAZY.

Ed plays a civil war re-enacter who, along with three other guys, is accidentally transported back in time to the actual Civil War. No word on who Steve is playing... although I'm hoping for Abe Lincoln!
